Independent testing laboratory in final phase
to perform state compliance testing

EVIO Inc. (âEVIOâ or the âCompanyâ),
(EVIO), a leading provider of cannabis
testing and research for the regulated cannabis industry in North
America announced today that it received a provisional license from
Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) to operate as an
independent testing laboratory. The license moves the organization
into the final phase of being cleared to commence testing cannabis
under the Commonwealthâs Adult Use of Marijuana Program. EVIO Labs
in Framingham will be one of only four Massachusetts laboratories
approved to perform mandated testing to measure product potency and
to verify that cannabis is clean from contaminants including
pesticides, heavy metals, including lead and mercury, and microbes,
including e. coli and salmonella.

âWe are excited to offer full service testing for
the stateâs exploding adult-use market. The first two recreational
cannabis dispensaries opened on November 20, 2018 and according to
the CCC, sales exceeded $2 million in the first five days.
Additional dispensaries are awaiting final license approval to
enter this $1.2B cannabis market. We have already established
relationships with a majority of the growers and producers across
the Commonwealth and we look forward to serving them,â said Lori
Glauser, COO of EVIO. âAs more consumers try cannabis including CBD
products, it is vitally important that the product is safe, and the
product labels are accurate.â

The provisional license permits EVIO Labs to
complete the relocation to its new Framingham facility, reoptimize
the equipment to support EVIOâs ISO accredited methods and complete
preparations for final inspection. We are forecasting this process
will be complete within the next 30 to 45 days.
